Man Of Steel #5 (December 1986)

Byrne now introduces Bizarro. He's still a creation of Luthor's gone bad, but instead of the goofy doppleganger, which was very fun at times, Byrne hands us a Frankenstein type of tragic character. Also, Luthor learns for the first time that Superman is an alien, an whole issue before Clark.
The Enemy Within!
The Mirror, Crack'd... (notice the pre-crisis Luthor battle suit. Nice Touch)
Sloppy
The king of the cover-up.
Uh-oh. Luthor learns that Superman is an alien before Superman does.
PERFECT!!
Like before, Luthor names the creature, but this time in Chinese no less.
Wordless panels usually speak the loudest.
Superman to the rescue, sort of.
You're not Superman!
Lucy Lane is saved from herself.
Lois has learned that when Clark is running after something, there's going to be a hell of a story.
That one hurt.
Okay handsome
Being on the receiving end of heat vision for once.
Superman getting rid of the clothes that could show his connection with Clark.
Lemme Go!
Bizarro realizing he's Lucy's cure.
Toe to toe
Superman using his noggin...
This is IT!!
This version of Bizarro is closer to being a Frankenstein version. Misunderstood, but capturing the essence of Superman's soul, at least the self-sacrificing part.
